Is It Safe To Leave Daphnia In A Tank?

[Vidster]

This is kinda embarrassing but i thought i would treat my Neons to some Daphnia. In goes the bag. Neons have a birthday but 30 minutes later it is evident that about 100 Daphnia are just too big for the Neons to eat.

The thing is they look kinda cool shoaling in the top 3rd of the tank so i was wondering if it will be safe to leave then in there or do i need to net them?

when you put them in i hope
you drained the water off first
i shouldn't see any problem leaving
the daphnia in there its just the water
they come is of doubtable quality and
was told by one of my old time fish keeping
mates that you should never put the water in your
tank as it spread diseases

I put about half of the water in yeah but i also had a general tonic in there at the time as well due to adding a Plec a few hours earlier in the day. I'll keep a close eye on them though.

All these Daphnia swimming around have really spooked my Neons. They're shoaled up and hiding behind my bogwood atm
